Chicking @ AmanJaya Mall, Sungai Petani

Chicking is now in AmanJaya Mall, Sungai Petani! Same like me, probably you may not heard of Chicking but it is similar to KFC except this fast-growing fast food chain is from Dubai! Chicking is also one of the first and fully Halal compliant, international quick service restaurants (QSR) that serves customers globally with great tasting food!

Chicking - It's My Choice!

Currently Chicking has the outlets in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Kedah, still yet to come to Penang. Coincidentally Chicking just opened their new outlet in AmanJaya Mall, Sungai Petani. So when we were there for a short getaway, we decided to pay a visit to try out their chicken!

The first thing that caught our attention is actually the red color theme which is almost similar to KFC style. But by the name of "Chicking", I supposed it is meant for Chick King. One major difference is that Chicking serves grilled chicken instead of just the typical fried chicken.

Same as any fast food chain, it is self service style where you order and pick up your food at the counter. But unlike KFC, Chicking uses the separated counter, just like McDonald's, where the Order Counter and Pick Up Counter are separated. So you need to know what's your queue number.

We ordered 1 set of Grilled Chicken (2pcs) that came with fries, tortilla and soft drink, as well as 1 set of Mexican Grilled Wrap Combo which came with fries and soft drink. To be honest, I was quite disappointed that the Grilled Chicken was so much smaller compare to the "illustration" poster.

Nevertheless, I think that the Grilled Chicken was very well marinated with full fragrance of spices. Certainly good to try out if you are bored of the typical fried chicken. But luckily the tartar sauce was given, otherwise it could be quite dry to be eaten together with the tortilla wrap. Fries was okay but we still think McDonald's serves the best.

Meanwhile, the Mexican Grilled Wrap Combo was quite delicious as well. The chicken meat given were quite generous in portion and you definitely can taste it in every bite. This wrap is much better as the sauce was sufficient and tasty enough to make it mouth watering.

Overall I think Chicking could compete well in Malaysia market, but I would like to try their fried chicken someday too to see if it would be better than other fast food chain. Hopefully they will open one in Penang soon!
